The Manny Pacquiao not fighting blackfighter Myth is total bullcrap!!

[cupocity303]

First of all Bradley isn't even slick so what style are you talking about? .

Just watching the first 30 seconds of this video would dispute that:



This is how the fight went all 12 rounds, with Bradley sticking and moving. He may not be Floyd Mayweather but slick he is.

I didn't say he couldn't box but I'm sorry slick he is not. He attacks way to much and gets hit way to much to be considered anything more than a good boxer puncher. Seriously how is he more skilled and elusive than Marquez was at his peak and factor in his complete lack of punching power. Come on man you are looking for a style that just isn't there.

If manny fights timothy and demolishes a young black fighter, you'll have the board crying like they're on their rag about how manny was cherry picking and destroyed a 'green' young up and comer. LOL!

The biggest criticism of Jack Dempsey's career is his refusal to fight Black Fighters, I guess Pac wants to go down that same path. Oh he'll fight a Black, as long as their not African American.

That is bull****. You should Study up some more.

??? Bradley is very slick, his head movement makes him slick, Bradley can slip and avoid punches just go watch the fight against Lamont Peterson...how is that not considered Slick?

I never said that he is better than Marquez. We all know that Marquez gave Pacquiao hell for two fights.

I'm simply saying that fighting Bradley who is A) Perceived as a slick technical fighter and not a come-forward brawler and B) He happens to be black, would help in dispensing the theory that he avoids "slick black fighters". (Of course helping Mayweather - the slickest of them all would the most ideal choice of all)

But all this isn't going anywhere, you did say that Andre Berto would be a viable option, he to me is of the same ilk as Bradley, a pretty decent boxer who happens to be black, but a 147 guy at that.

well I agree to a certain point
he could have fought Zahir Raheem and he didnt
he could have taken on Judah (past prime) but he didnt
someone mentioned Guzman

but he will soon be facing what some consider the "slickest" "black" fighter in the world

so time will tell for Manny

Nate Campbell was ranked just as high or right behind Manny in that division at the time so it was indeed some black fighters available for him to fight at the time, not saying that Nate Campbell would have "Beat Manny" but it does make you wonder why exactly did he fight everybody else but left the division without fighting Nate Campbell, the excuse is that he moves up in weight for more Money which I guess in understandable (unless your Mayweather apparently)

Manny went after the Mexican Legends because of their styles, that true Warrior style is something Manny is GREAT at fighting against, it is not much movement with that style so yes Arum was smart with his match making and naturally he put Manny in fights that he felt he had a better chance of winning compared to a Nate Campbell who was very crafty fighter at 135 and especially after the way he broke down a younger Juan Diaz...it was no damn way they was going to put Manny in the ring with Nate Campbell after that fight, it was too much of a risk with no reward type of fight and also like someone mentioned, Timothy Bradley was also around during that time and the crap about them not being worthy at the time is BS, Nate Campbell was VERY "WORTHY" especially after beating Juan Diaz

so no Manny himself did not avoid black fighters but I do think the people around him did a smart thing by picking and choosing opponents that his style matches up against

some people need to put the inferiority complex away though, I don't know why people feel the need to separate black fighters and other fighters from the rest, they are all boxers and no SLICK does not mean black fighters, go watch Willie Pep highlights on youtube if you think Slick Fighters = Black Fighters, that is just not true Slick is just a style not a damn Race/Color

Nate ***ing Campbell beats Juan Diaz and he's a greater challange than Oscar De La Hoya? WTF!!! And if slick fighter doesn't mean black then why does Marquez name never get mentioned? He's a superb counter puncher with great foot work who fights nothing like the so called Mexican warriors you keep mentioning. He was a master at making his opponents use their agressiveness against them which by definition means slick!

But as always that will just get shot down for some strange reason because suddenly Marquez was always just a blood and guts face first fighter.

Why? Should he fight Judah? Zab was never slick. He was flashy but not slick.
